Description: | A copper-alloy late Roman spoon handle fragment with the rest of the handle and the bowl of the spoon missing due to old breaks, which look like they might be slightly molten due to exposture to heat. It measures 46.65mm in length and 21.04mm in width, across the downwards curving bowl end of the shaft.
The shaft of the handle is twisted and oval in cross-section, 3.6mm in width, at the bowl end it is flattened with a rectangular cross-section and has transverse grooves across its top face, the handle then remains flat and rectangular in cross-section and curves downwards, which would have caused the spoon bowl, now missing, to be offset. This flattened curving part is decorated on both faces with ring and dot motifs. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 250
